Assemble workspace

Make the connections count.

Define both halves of a joint, inspect their faces, and work with a clearly named assembly.

Assembly sequence and setup for the starter side table. Defined, seated and floating parts have distinct meanings.

Eight joint families

Mortise and tenon, box, mitre, dado, rabbet, half lap, pocket hole and screw connections cover frames, drawers, cases and hardware.

Two faces, one connection

Choose the acting and receiving boards, confirm their faces, and preview both cuts before creating the joint.

Inspect the finished cut

Use the enlarged joint preview to examine assembled, exploded and section views, including the mating planes.

Choose your assembly

Work on an explicit connected group with a named fixed anchor. Seat and unseat that group without guessing which parts are included.

A sequence you can follow

Select a step to focus its joint and parts. Keep floating panels and display-only exploded positions distinct from rigid seating.

Joinery follows declared dimensions

Formula-driven stock and defined relationships allow connected joints to update when dimensions change. Review any reported conflicts before building.
